One of my first projects was a display cabinet for my wife. This one is much better. She’s an artist who works in pastels, watercolors, and clay. The is her Latte collection, at least those she hasn’t sold. The cabinet was built with Tiger maple and trimmed with lacewood. It incorporates a bunch of dados, or is it rabbets? Maybe just a bunch of grooves. And attached to the wall with a french cleat which sure makes the installation easy.

Nice work on both your parts.
And for the record (and since the Grumpycarp is feeling sassy) a dado is contained entirely in the host material, is shaped like the letter “U”. A rabbet goes cross grain at the end of a piece and looks like an “L” and a grove runs with the grain and can also be of great benefit to the band in general if he’s sympathetic to the bass player . . .

Great display shelf, catchy tune, how do you get your wife to let your end grain cutting boards dry on the kitchen counter????

PetVet… I was wondering if anyone would notice the ‘Spagnuolo’ in the foreground. No, its not drying, it is curing. Between the two of us we manage to make a lot of messes and sometimes our projects spill over in to the house. We have two garages. She uses the old one as a studio and I use the new one for a shop. Someday I will post some pictures but you can get an idea from my project page. I’ve got five cutting boards in various pre-finished stages and have enough stock milled for several more.

Grumpycarp… so what is a dado/rabbet/groove called that runs with the grain on the edge of the board like a letter L?

newTim . . . A groove on the edge but with the grain? Sonia Dado? Lite Jazz?
I think it is still a rabbet. I could be way wrong on this as well. Sadly, I actually have wondered more than once why. The English call it a rebate, same as what we call a coupon that you realize three days after it expires should have been sent in to actually get the advertised price on some offshore produced electronic gizmo that was supposed to make that sort of thing easier to keep track of . . .
